MKG International Martial Arts Madison Check In Procedures (Effective June 1st, 2020)

We are taking the first steps back and this means we have to be careful. There are a few things that have changed to ensure a safe training environment.  We have put several new procedures in place to ensure that you can be confident that your safety is our utmost priority. 

First of all, when you are ready to return to training, every student is required to read, understand and sign an additional waiver that addresses COVID-19 related items.  Click here to download and print our New Covid 19 Acknowledgement and Disclosure Form. Please bring this completed form when you return to in-person classes. 

When you decide you are ready to return to classes here are the new protocols that you should be prepared for. Thank you for your patience with these extra steps. If you come prepared it shouldn’t be a big deal!

1. You will have to register for classes online before you come. We are only allowed 6 students on the training floor per class. We will open class registration as of Friday, May 29th. (More Information to follow)
2. Have your clean training clothes on when you arrive. (Per the local guidelines It is recommended that we keep our changing areas closed.)
3. Have a training towel with you. (To wipe the inevitable sweat that you will be working up!)
4. Have your own water bottle. (Per local guidelines, it is also recommended that we don’t use the community water fountain.)

Due to the recommended occupancy restrictions, only students will be allowed to enter the gym.

1. The doors will be unlocked 10 mins before class times.
2. No Spectators 
   1. Except, Parents of MKG Littles and MKG Kids unless we meet out maximum capacity. Then parents may be asked to wait outside during class.

1. Once you have entered into the reception area one of our staff will confirm that you have received and signed the Covid 19 Acknowledgement and Disclosure.

Although the procedures may seem a bit excessive, they are what is best for everyone involved. Our utmost priority is the safety of our students and staff.

These procedures are susceptible to changes as we move forward. We will see what is working for us and pay close attention to the introduction of any additional governmental guidelines. If there are any changes, we will update you as soon as possible by email.

So, let’s all work together and make this thing happen. The safer we are now the sooner we should be able to move on the next steps. Thank you so much for all of your support, understanding, and patience through this process.
